First question: do You want to reinstall it from the scratch or recover
from backup media? If this is a second case I think You may find this

Thanks Tomasz I will look at that, should have added that I have a backup on
media. Just wondering at what stage to restore it. Surely I have to run
dcpromo to make this server a domain controller again, and then restore
system state? Or can I restore the backup on a newly installed member server
in the domain, and let the backup bring it back up as a domain controller?
Just want to get the procedure right..
